Partner Anna Partyka-Opiela has become the new Head of the ESG practice at Rymarz Zdort Maruta.
Partyka-Opiela has been with Rymarz Zdort Maruta since 2023 when she joined from DZP alongside Partners Michal Czarnuch, Marcin Pieklak, and Tomasz Kaczynski (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on November 10, 2023). Since then, she has also headed the Compliance and Forensic practices. Partyka-Opiela first joined DZP in 2012 as an Associate. In 2014 she was promoted to Senior Associate and made Partner in 2018. Before DZP, she was the Legal and Corporate Affairs Director of Jelfa SA/Sanitas Group between 2010 and 2012. Earlier, she was a Tax Advisor with Teva Pharmaceuticals Polska between 2007 and 2010.
“I am looking forward to leading the ESG practice at our law firm in addition to the Compliance and Forensic practices,” Partyka-Opiela commented. “ESG risks are now recognized as material risks, so it is difficult to imagine compliance there with not being connected with sustainable business development. ESG strategy sets the direction for business development, thus making the long-term achievement of set goals realistic. I believe that, with our help and expertise, our clients will be able to achieve their goals, and that they will benefit from an even more comprehensive offer in this area.”
“Placing the Compliance and ESG practices under the supervision of one individual was an obvious and natural choice,” added Managing Partner Pawel Zdort. “The two areas intersect and allow us to provide a coherent range of advice to our clients. This will certainly be another practice of which Anna will take excellent care.”
